十大网络彩票平台大全的故事
成立于1889年, 十大网络彩票平台大全是 the only college in 纽约市, 也是全国为数不多的, where women could receive the same rigorous and challenging education available to men. 该学院是以一位教育家的名字命名的, 数学家, and 10th president of Columbia College Frederick A.P. Barnard, who argued unsuccessfully for the admission of women to 哥伦比亚大学. 学校的创立, 然而, was largely due to the rallying efforts of Annie Nathan Meyer, a student and writer who was equally dissatisfied with Columbia’s stance and staunchly committed to the education of women. She joined forces with a small group of her peers to petition the University Trustees for an affiliated, self-sustaining liberal arts women’s college. In two years, she accomplished what she had set out to do.
Barnard’s first class met in a rented brownstone at 麦迪逊大道343号, just blocks from Grand Central Station; there were six 教师 members and 14 students in the School of Arts. Nine years later, the College moved to its current site in Morningside Heights. One of the original Seven Sisters colleges, 十大网络彩票平台大全是, 从一开始, a place that challenged women intellectually.
In 1900, 十大网络彩票平台大全是 included in the educational system of 哥伦比亚大学, with provisions unique among women’s colleges: It was governed by its own trustees, 教师, and dean and was 负责任的 for its own endowment and facilities, 在分享指令的同时, 库, 还有大学的学位. In 1983, when Columbia College went co-ed, as Frederick A.P. Barnard had wanted more than a century before, one might have thought Barnard would easily be subsumed. 而不是, then-President Ellen Futter fought for the College to remain independent and worked toward a new and lasting agreement with Columbia in light of their decision to admit women.
Over the course of over 130 years and 13 great women leaders — from winning the right to hire 教师 in 1900 and the pivotal protests of 1968 to the historic admission of transgender women in 2016 — Barnard has continued to flourish and excel.
